Project Description
The new hospital is a state-of-the-art forensic mental health care facility. The expanded hospital replaces the existing 160-bed Oak Ridge Facility, the 20-bed Brebeuf Facility and consolidates the WCMH into a more efficient, integrated building complex. Waypoint provides an extensive range of both acute and longer-term psychiatric inpatient and outpatient services to Simcoe County, Dufferin County and Muskoka/Parry Sound. In addition, Waypoint provides the province’s only maximum secure forensic hospital for clients served by both the mental health and justice systems. The hospital is recognized for the provision of exceptional care to those most needing mental health services, research of severe behaviours associated with mental illness and for its contributions to the understanding of mental illness.
